Maggie, shut up and mind your own business.

Susu, first of all, I would like to point out the fact that I STOPPED posting to this thread THREE DAYS ago. YOU are the one who brought it back to life.

Secondly, I was not talking about myself when I said what I did about what "MG" did to the person who experienced the death of a child.

Here's what happened. A Mudcatter, one for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect as a human being and as a good man said the following to "Martin Gibson"...

On December 18th of 2000 my wife and I held my 5 day old son in my arms while the nurses disconnected him from the life support "miracles" that kept him alive. And I felt no guilt.

Six weeks later I watched my Mother die of a brain tumor. I was relieved that she had effective paperwork in place so that the doctor and nurses wouldn't keep her alive beyond the hour that God called her home.

I pray you never have the same experiences. I really do pray for you Martin.

Because when that time comes you won't be looking for curse words. You'll find a dark quiet corner and try to be alone with your God and your soul and you'll pray - "Dear God - take my loved one now. Don't let them suffer another minute."

Trust me Martin - that's what you'll do.

"Martin's" response was, "Maybe you should have taken less drugs".

Another Mudcatter, a lifelong professional musician who is well loved by many, who has Multiple Sclerosis, is no longer able to do the thing he loves most... play music, and who is able to find some solace from all of this by talking about music here in the Mudct with like-minded people, was being taunted by "Martin Gibson", who was making fun of the fact that this Mudcatter's Multiple Sclerosis was preventing him from being able to play music. This, along with some other kinds of non-specific abuse.

There is a Mudcatter who uses a wheelchair because he does not have very good use of his legs due to polio when he was younger. This Mudcatter is a very capable person who has had many fine accomplishments in his life. "Martin Gibson" made fun of this Mudcatter many times by making references to his being incontinent (not able to urinate on his own, in case you don't know what "incontinent" means). Now this Mudcatter is not incontinent, but even if he were, being incontinent due to paralysis is not something people ought to be making fun of (or do you disagree?).

NOW... maybe you can just sit back and laugh along with "Martin Gibson", or maybe just not bother to do anything about it while others laugh. I chose not to do this. I chose to stand up to that kind of cruelty. I have no regrets.
